The majestic Palais Theatre, located right next door to Melbourne Luna Park, is the grande dame of Australian theatres. It seats 2,896 patrons and has played host to some of the most respected names in entertainment. Music, comedy, theatre, dance, films, and fundraisers all have a place at the Palais Theatre. Ever watched the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala on TV? That's the Palais Theatre.
The historical theatre reopened in May 2017 after a $20 million makeover including a paint job returning the exterior to its original yellow hue. Today, it continues its run as one of the premier live music venues in the city.
